How close should a pastor get to the members?

My husband and I were saying how nice it is to come to church and not feel stressed out, pressured and tense. I didn't think I would ever feel this way. It's been a long haul, let me tell you!

I stand here astonished that what God promised us years ago, and I'm talking years ago, is now coming to pass. I don't know why He takes us on some of our journeys, but if we just hold on to a promise, it will come to pass. God is faithful!!!!

Against hope believe in hope!

Dear PO, My journey has been difficult at times but I also have a hope and God is directing my path...I know I must be traveling right because I remember passing Calvary, and though it's dusty and it's old - for years it's bore the travelers load...someday this road will turn to gold.

Blessings my friend,
